BigBrother (Neb Edition)

BigBrother watches over your group and has two main functions: checks and alerts.

Checks show you an overview of your group's consumable usage and raid buffs with the option to output missing buffs to chat. The buff window quickly shows who is missing what. Food buffs are tinted red if it does not give the highest stat value available. Raid buffs are dimmed/disabled when you don't have them and hidden if the group can't provide them.

You can also run a buff check to print out missing consumables and buffs from the buff window, config window, shift-clicking the minimap icon/broker object, or with the chat command /bb qc.

Alerts spam your chat frame so you know when people use specific abilities or items. This includes things like when someone breaks crowd control, is misdirected, interrupts, taunts, resurrects, dispels, or puts down items the group can click on. If you output to self, you can also shift-click on the "BigBrother" text to send the alert to chat.

Feel free to PM me an updated localization file. The enUS locale has all the localized strings I use in it.

4.1.2 (r335)
- Enable alerts for specific instance types (world, bg, arena, party, raid)
- Option to not spam LFR/LFD if you use group, party or raid output
- Report using an interrupt while the mob isn't casting as a miss
- Special handling for Mass Dispel to show all the affected units on one line (for the same removed de/buff)
- Fixes consumable checks and whispering for people not on your realm
- Don't try and whisper buff groups to tell them they're missing
- Removed AddonLoader delayed loading (don't do that much table populating on load anymore)

4.1.1 (r327)
- Special handling for Mocking Banner and Mass Resurrection to show all the affected units on one line
- Move the "Blame" output to its own option to whisper people that are missing consumables when you do a check (concurrent to your normal output)

4.1.0 (r311)
- Renames Quick Check to Buff Check
- Shift-Click the LDB to run a buff check
- Shift-Click "BigBrother" in self alerts to send the alert to chat (opens an editbox with the it)
- Fixes dispel alerts

4.0.14 (r306)
- Adds dispel/spellsteal alerts
- Bug fixes

4.0.13 (r302)
- Merges consumables and raid buffs into one fat buff window (raid buffs you don't have are dimmed, raid buffs your group can't give are hidden)
- Updates CC break code (ripped out the crap I had to do to make it work nicely pre 5.0)

4.0.7a (r248)
- Fixes battle res announce
- Use a single output for alerts (db changed, will default to self). I don't really see the point of having multiple outputs as it can get kind of spammy, however, if people were using them, I could revert this in favor of using a prefix and chat filters.
